Travel consulting · Powered by Fora
Custom, curated travel for families and busy people. We find dates that work, then build the flights, hotels, and experiences around real life — school calendars, work weeks, and the way your group actually travels.
Dates firstWe start with the calendar, not a Pinterest board.
One planFlights, hotels, and days that fit together.
Family-readyPacing, rooms, and days that work for the whole group.
Cruises & DisneyShips and parks we actually know.
Who it's for
Families
Multigenerational weeks, spring break, first big international trip with kids. We plan connecting rooms, downtime, and days that don’t collapse by 3 p.m.
Busy people
You know you need to get away. You do not have another weekend to become your own travel agent. We build a short, sharp trip around the days you actually have.
How it works
Who’s going, when you can leave, budget range, and the feeling you want when you land.
We map workable dates, then cut the trip down to the hotels, flights, and days that earn their place.
You get a clear itinerary and options. We book through Fora so the perks travel with you.
You leave. We stay reachable if a flight shifts or you want a last-minute reservation.
What we plan
We look at school breaks, work constraints, flight patterns, and weather — then recommend when to actually go.
Routing that respects energy levels. Fewer brutal connections. Arrival times that don’t waste the first night.
The right neighborhood, the right room setup, and properties where Fora perks can add breakfast, upgrades, or credits.
A handful of booked anchors — a dinner, a guide, a day trip — with space left open so the trip can breathe.
Line, itinerary, cabin, and when to book — including sailings from the New York area.
Resort, ticket length, dining windows, and a park order that matches the group. Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and the ships. Skip-the-line only where it earns the money. Not a first-timer checklist.
Fees
Most stays cost you the same rate you’d see on the hotel site. We are paid by the property through Fora. When the work is dates, flights, and a full itinerary, we charge a planning fee — quoted before we start.
Hotel only
$0
You know the dates and the stay. We book the hotel so you get Fora perks — breakfast, upgrades, or credits when available.
3–4 days
$150–$250
A short trip that still has to fit a work week. Flights, one great base, and a plan that doesn’t waste a day off.
Most families
$350–$500
Five to eight days, built around school or PTO. Rooms that fit the group, pacing that holds, and a few booked anchors.
Complex trips
$750+
Two cities, a celebration, or a larger family. More moving pieces, more rooms, more coordination — quoted before we begin.
Air-only bookings: $50 domestic / $75 international per ticket. Planning fees are quoted up front. Fora may process the fee; hotel commissions are separate and do not change the rate you pay the property.

Carrolyn & Bill
Edit Travel is our side studio for friends, families, and busy people who want a trip that fits real life. Carrolyn is the advisor of record. Bill plans with her. We use the travel we’ve done — including a lot of cruises and Disney — the questions we wish someone had asked us, and a lot of careful editing.
You will not get a 19-stop itinerary. You will get dates that work, a stay that makes sense for your group, and a few experiences worth the suitcase.
Questions
For a straightforward hotel booking, no. We are paid by the property through Fora, usually at the same rate you’d see yourself. Custom planning — dates, flights, and a full itinerary — has a fee. The Week Edit is typically $350–$500. We quote it before we start. See Fees.
Yes. We plan from a mix of first-hand travel, trusted advisor notes, and Fora’s hotel and destination tools. If a trip is outside what we can do well, we will say so.
Six to nine months is comfortable for family trips and popular seasons. Busy people with a sudden window: write us anyway. We can often build a clean short trip on a shorter fuse.
No. We care more about fit than five stars. Some trips want a simple beach hotel and a rental car. Some want a milestone stay. We edit to the budget you give us.
Yes. Both are a real part of what we do. Cruises cover line, cabin, and sailings from the New York area. Disney covers Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and the ships. Start six to nine months out if you care about a specific resort or dining window.
